Cigars Losing Their FLAVOR.

Not long ago friend sent me from Cuba
a box of cigars of a brand we used to smoke
with great gusto during our wanderings
together through the ever faithful isle.
When l lighted the first one found it hor-
ribly i'll favored I tried another with the
same result, and so learned that the whole
lot had been spoiled. The ship had, it
seems, a rough passage, with much wet
weather, and the damp air of the store
room had taken all the flavor out of nv
Patriotas. Happening to mention this fact
to a nicotine expert, he said:
''That happens very often. Cigars of
certain brands have to be packed scientific
ally in order to endure a voyage without in
jury. Others do not seem to suffer at all
by the change of air. Cuban tobacco
stands the sea air better than any other.
The best cigars made in Santo Domingo for
instance, cannot be exported at ALL They
become perfect cabbage leaves on their
voyage and never recover their flavor.
Yours viii get most of their flavor back
when they dry. Damp weather injuries ali
cigars, anyhow. Take notice on the next
wet day how differently your pet brand
tastes and how badly it burns A moder-
ate amount of moisture in the air is neces-
Sary to bring out the flavor of a good cigar,
but too much just as certainly destroys it. y

SEVEN WAYS OF MARRYING,

with Attending Expenses Varying from
81 to 81 ,OOO-The Most Popular.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the different
modes varying from 81 to ST., OOO The
least expensive, and the one seldom adopted,
except in cases of elopement, is that afforded
by the Justices Office. There a couple can
be firmly united in the space of a minute
for small sum. 1t is customary for a
groom to dress as he may please when the
marriage is to be performed by a justice,
and dress suit would be sadly out of place
in the musty law Office. The one great adj
vantage Of the justice shop marriage is its
cheapneSs.
As some people object to being married
by a justice of the peace, preferring the
sanction of the church in addition to that
Of the law, the young people may visit a
parsonage instead of a Justices Office with
the same preparation The ceremony may
be fully as informal when performed at the
minister's home, the only difference being
that not less than So, and, better still, So
or SO, should be paid for the service,
although there is no fixed sum charged. The
most popular cere nony among people who
do not class themselves as in ''society," and
also among many who do, is q quiet home
wedding, where the bride is attired in a
suit of plain white or travelling dress, and
the groom in plain black or brown bust
ness suit, where only a few friends and
relatives are present. The affair is infor
NAL, perhaps modest supper or lunch being
served after the ceremony is performed,
and the entire expense to the groom being
covered by $50, or even less. This is the
most popular wedding ceremony, and this
is the way in which fully % per cent. of
young people are married.
Next in point of favor and inexpensivenesS
is the informal church wedding being SINH
lar in all things except that the service is
performed within the portals of the church.
If the affair is strictly private, the bride
and groom may be unsupported, or have
bridesmaids and groomsmen, as they please.
In the latter case full dress suits should be
worn, increasing the expense. 'sThe full
dress wedding" as it may be called when |
the ceremony is performed at home, is next
in favor. Elaborate trousseau, full dress
suits, bridesmaids and groomsmen, flowers
in abundance, and host of invited guests
are the requisites, followed by reception,
feast or LUNCH as the contracting parties |
may desire.
The seventh and last, and most popular, |
is the full dress affair performed in church |
Among people who desire to create stir
in society this is the favorite. 1t is expen-
sive, and in many cases unsatisfactory

'The other day I rode on the elevated
road opposite George Gould and could not
help observing that he is much more youth
full in appearance than his age as given in
the newspapers would warrant He is
often credited with being % or % years of
age. In fact he was % years old on the
third day of February last. He was only
10 or 10 years old when he had been made
vice-president of the Western Union TeIe-
graph company and a director in most of
the Gould properties Under the old con-
struction in the courts requiring directors to
be of legal age, Mr.. Gould could not have
occupied a place in any directory if his
acts had been challenged by any of the
stockholders. By decisions of the higher
courts, however, it is now held that if
majority of the directors are of legal age
the actions Of the board cannot be success
fully disputed.-New York Tribune

THIS 10 ALL,

Just a saunter in the twilight,
just a whisper in the hall,
Just 9 sail on sea or river,
just q dance at rout or bah,
just q glance that heart enthrall-
This is aIl-and this is all.
Just few harsh words of doubling,
just q silence proud and cold.
Just a spiteful breath Of SANDER,
Just a wrong that is not told,
Just word beyond recall
This is aIl-and this Is all
Just life robbed of its brightness
just heart by sorrow filed,
Just faith that trusts no longer,
Just love by doubling chilled,
Just few hot tears that fall
This is allah, this is all.

His Last Trim.

It was at Liverpool docks. A party of
American tourists were about to take the
steamer for home. As they stGlked along
the gangway 70 the tenders deck, one of
the three paused in the center, and stretch.
ing out his encountered hands, dramatically
addressed the surrounding scenery. ''If
there is, " he hoarsely exclaimed, Zone blar-
sted Britisher on this COMPOUNDED island that

forward and get it. It's his last chanceI''
Then he stalked on board with an air of
great relief.-The Argonaut.

a New Paint for KaIla

For painting walls or other. objects ex-
posed to dampness, a mixture has come
into extensive use in Germany formed OF
very fine iron filings and hnseed oil varnish
When the material to be painted is subject
to frequent change of temperature, linseed
oil and amber varnish are added to the
first two coats The paint may be applied
to wood stone or iron, and, in the case of
the latter, it is not necessary to free it from

Saturday night about twenty ice men came
into town on the down Pullman, some of
whom were more or or less intoxicated Six
of them were not disposed to walk to Ice

Thomas kindly assisted them to find n team.
While waiting at the watch house, one of the

he wanted it more. and would
keen it. Sunday night, part of the
same gang broke into room in the boarding
house At lceboro, and in the free fight that
followed one Temple was badly cut about
the face and neck by one O'Donnell. One
cut extends across the forehead, down over
one eve, full length Of the face and ending
under the chin. Another bad cut is in the fore
the head and one on the neck if a little deeper,
would have severed the jugular. Temples
condition is not dangerous. The offenders
were arrested in Gardiner on Monday after
noon by City Marshal Norton and. officers
and brought to this place in the evening -
